Most bands could spend less money on stage effects and more time singing and playing great rock 'n roll! A great Rock Band doesn't need all that the expensive things. Less money spent on the stage means ticket prices are cheaper! After all, rock fans have been around a lot longer.:) A lot longer than the extravagant stages and fans still had a blast rockin the night away. The greatest compliment a band can receive is an audience on their feet singing with them. This happens all the time at the Zoo Ampitheater. Ticket prices are getting so high a lot people can not afford to go to them. It breaks my heart. I know bands have to make money, but there are things that could be done that would help bring down prices and allow bands to play more places. Also, Oklahoma gets left out a lot. I saw Tom Petty during his first tour ever at the Civic Center in OKC. THAT SHOW ROCKED!!! Please all bands, keep Okla. in mind! We LOVE TO ROCK!! I wish I could afford to go to more shows. I would be in heaven!!!! It would be great to have muliple talents at multiple shows, like the speedway in OKC. I feel like the good ole Rock 'n Roll shows are a dying breed. The music industry needs to do what it can to bring good selling concerts and T-shirts back. If this does not happen on some sort of a large scale, we are going to be stuck with things like American Idol. Now that is sad! Anyone who has watched at least one show of American Idol and sees that as the future of American music needs to have their eyes opened to true rock & roll!!!
